Description

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 132,055, filed Mar. 20, 1980, abandoned.
This invention relates to certain new azolyloxy-carboxylic acid amide compounds, to herbicidal compositions containing them and to methods of combating undesired vegetation utilizing such compounds.
It is already known that certain phenoxy-carboxylic acid amides, for example 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid amide, have a herbicidal action (see French Patent Specification No. 1,313,840). However, the phenoxy-carboxylic acid amides known as herbicides display only a slight action against graminaceous weeds when the customary amounts are applied and, because of their inadequate selectivity, cannot be used for combating broad-leaved weeds in various dicotyledon crops.
The present invention now provides, as new compounds, the azolyloxy-carboxylic acid amides of the general formula ##STR2## in which R represents a five-membered hetero-aromatic monocyclic radical which contains an oxygen atom or a sulphur atom and in addition 1 to 3 nitrogen atoms and which is optionally substituted by halogen, nitro, cyano, amino, alkylamino, dialkylamino, arylamino, alkylcarbonylamino, alkylcarbonyl, carboxyl, alkoxycarbonyl, carbamoyl, alkylaminocarbonyl, dialkylaminocarbonyl, arylaminocarbonyl (which is optionally substituted by halogen, nitro or alkyl), aryl (which is optionally substituted by halogen, nitro, cyano, alkyl, halogenoalkyl or alkoxy), aralkyl (which is optionally substituted by halogen), optionally halogen-substituted alkoxy, alkenoxy, alkynoxy, alkoxycarbonylalkoxy, aralkoxy or aryloxy, optionally halogen-substituted alkylthio, alkenylthio, alkynylthio, alkoxycarbonylalkylthio, aralkylthio, arylthio, alkylsulphinyl or alkylsulphonyl, optionally halogen-substituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxyalkyl, aralkoxyalkyl, aryloxyalkyl, alkylthioalkyl, alkylsulphinylalkyl, alkylsulphonylalkyl, arylthioalkyl, arylsulphinylalkyl, arylsulphonylalkyl, carboxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl, optionally substituted aminocarbonylalkyl, cyanoalkyl or cycloalkyl,

The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of an azolyloxy-carboxylic acid amide of the general formula (I) in which an α-hydroxycarboxylic acid amide of the general formula ##STR4## in which R1, R2 and R3 have the meanings indicated above,
is reacted with a halogenoazole of the general formula
R--Hal                                                     (III),
wherein
R has the meaning indicated above and
Hal represents chlorine, bromine or iodine,

Some of the compounds of the formula (I) can indeed also be synthesised in another manner, for example from the corresponding hydroxy-azoles (or the azolones tautomeric to these compounds) and α-halogenocarboxylic acid amides, or from corresponding azolyloxy-carboxylic acid esters and amines; however, the extent to which these methods can be applied is relatively small.
Surprisingly, the present azolyloxy-carboxylic acid amides exhibit a considerably better herbicidal action, which is of a different type, than the phenoxycarboxylic acid amides known from the state of the art. It is particularly surprising that the compounds according to the invention, which are well tolerated by useful plants, also exhibit a very good action against graminaceous weeds, in addition to their powerful action against dicotyledon weeds, while such structurally similar phenoxyalkanecarboxylic acid derivatives as, for example, 2,4-dichlorophenoxy-acetic acid amide display only a slight action against Gramineae.
The particularly preferred compounds of the formula (I) are those in which R1 represents hydrogen,
R2 represents hydrogen, C1 -C5 -alkyl, cyanoethyl, C1 -C4 -alkoxy-ethyl, allyl, propargyl, 1-methyl-propargyl, 1,1-dimethyl-propargyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, phenyl or benzyl and

R2 and R3, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are bonded, represent the radical ##STR7## and R represents one of the azolyl radicals below ##STR8## wherein X in each case represents oxygen or sulphur and
R8 to R23, which can be identical or different, individually represent hydrogen, bromine, chlorine, nitro, amino, cyano, C1 -C3 -alkyl-carbonyl, C1 -C3 -alkoxycarbonyl, phenyl (which is optionally monosubstituted or disubstituted, the substituent(s) being selected from fluorine, chlorine, bromine, methyl, halogenomethyl, methoxy, nitro and cyano), phenoxy or phenylthio, C1 -C4 -alkylthio or C1 -C4 -alkoxy, C1 -C4 -alkylsulphinyl or C1 -C4 -alkylsulphonyl, C1 -C4 -alkyl, trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, cyano-C1 -C4 -alkyl, C2 -C4 -alkenyl, benzyloxymethyl, C1 -C3 -alkyl-amino, N-C1 -C3 -alkyl-N-C1 -C4 -alkyl-aminocarbonyl, benzylthio, phenoxymethyl.
If, for example, 2,4,5-trichloro-1,3-thiazole and hydroxyacetic acid piperidide are used as starting materials, the course of the reaction in the process according to the invention can be represented by the following equation: ##STR9##

Some of the α-hydroxy-carboxylic acid amides of the formula (II) are known (see U.S. Pat. No. 3,399,988 and DE-OS's (German Published Specifications) 2,201,432 and 2,647,481). The compounds (II) can be prepared from α-chloro-carboxylic acid chlorides, as outlined in the equation below: ##STR10##
In this preparation, the α-chloro-carboxylic acid chlorides of the formula (IV), which are known from the literature, are first converted into the corresponding chlorocarboxylic acid amides of the formula (VI) with amines of the formula (V), R1, R2 and R3 having the meanings indicated above, if appropriate in the presence of an acid-binding agent, for example triethylamine, and if appropriate using an inert diluent, for example 1,2-dichloroethane, at temperatures between -20° and 100° C., preferably between -10° and 50° C. These products are worked up by customary methods, by washing with water, drying the organic phase and distilling off the solvent.

If the products are obtained as crystals in this reaction, they are isolated by filtration. Otherwise, working up is effected by customary methods, for example by distilling off the solvent in vacuo, taking up the residue in methylene chloride, washing the methylene chloride mixture with water and distilling off the solvent.
The compounds of the formula (VII) can be deacylated to give the compounds of the formula (II) by reaction with aqueous-alcoholic sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution at temperatures between 0° and 100° C., preferably between 10° and 50° C. To isolate the products, the solvents are distilled off in vacuo, the residue is extracted with an organic solvent, for example methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, the solution is dried and the solvent is distilled off.
Formula (III) provides a definition of the halogenoazoles also to be used as starting materials. In this formula, R preferably has those meanings which have already been mentioned as preferred or particularly preferred in connection with the definitions of the compounds of the formula (I) or (Ia), and Hal preferably represents chlorine or bromine.

Halogenoazoles of the formula (III) are in general known (see Elderfield, Heterocyclic Compounds, Volume 5 (1957), page 298 and page 452; Volume 7 (1961), page 463 and page 541; Weissberger, The Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds, (a) "Five-Membered Heterocyclic Compounds with Nitrogen and Sulphur or Nitrogen, Sulphur and Oxygen" (1952), page 35 and page 81 and (b) "Five- and Six-Membered Compounds with Nitrogen and Oxygen" (1962), page 5, page 245 and page 263; Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, Volume 5 (1965), page 119; Volume 7 (1966), page 183; Volume 9 (1968), page 107, page 165 and page 183; Volume 17 (1974), page 99 and Volume 20 (1976), page 65; Synthesis 1978, 803; Tetrahedron Letters 1968, 829; Chem. Ber. 89 (1956), 1534; 90 (1957), 182; and 92 (1959) 1928; J. Org. Chem. 27 (1962), 2589 and DE-OS (German Published Specification) No. 2,213,865).
Some of the halogenoazoles to be used as starting substances have not yet been described in the literature. Various halogeno-azoles are obtained, for example, by dissolving corresponding amino-azoles in water, with hydrogen halide acids, and reacting them with sodium nitrite, whilst cooling with ice, stirring the mixture at temperatures between 10° and 50° C. for some hours, extracting the products with toluene and, after washing and drying, working up the organic phase by distillation (see DE-OS (German Published Specification) No. 2,144,326).
The process, according to the invention, for the preparation of the azolyloxycarboxylic acid amides (I) is preferably carried out using a suitable solvent or diluent. Possible solvents or diluents are virtually any of the inert organic solvents. These include, as preferences, alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, n- and iso-propanol and n-, iso-, sec.- and tert.-butanol; ethers, such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran and dioxan; ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isopropyl ketone and methyl isobutyl ketone; nitriles, such as acetonitrile and propionic acid nitrile; and the highly polar solvents dimethylformamide, dimethylsulphoxide, sulpholane and hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide.
Virtually any of the acid-binding agents which can customarily be used can be employed as an acid acceptor in the process according to the invention. Preferred acid acceptors include alkali metal hydroxides and oxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides and oxides, such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide and calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide; alkali metal carbonates and alkaline earth metal carbonates, such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate and calcium carbonate; alkali metal alcoholates, such as sodium methylate, ethylate and tert.-butylate and potassium methylate, ethylate and tert.-butylate; and aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic amines, such as triethylamine, dimethylaniline, dimethylbenzylamine, pyridine, diazabicyclooctane and diazabicycloundecene.
The reaction temperatures can be varied within a substantial range. In general, the reaction is carried out at from -50° to +150° C., preferably at from -20° to +100° C.
The process according to the invention is in general carried out under normal pressure.
In carrying out the process according to the invention, 1.0 to 1.5 moles of α-hydroxy-carboxylic acid amide of the formula (II) are in general employed per mole of halogenoazole of the formula (III). The reaction is in general carried out in a suitable diluent and the reaction mixture is stirred at the required temperature for several hours.
The products are isolated by customary methods: if appropriate, part of the diluent is distilled off under reduced pressure and the remainder of the reaction mixture is poured into water. If the products are obtained as crystals in this procedure, they are isolated by filtration. Otherwise, the organic products are extracted with a water-immiscible solvent, for example toluene or methylene chloride; after washing and drying, the solvent is then distilled off from the organic phase in vacuo. The products which remain are characterised by their melting point or their refractive index.
The active compounds according to the invention influence plant growth and can therefore be used as defoliants, desiccants, agents for destroying plants, germination inhibitors and, especially, as weed-killers. By "weeds" in the broadest sense there are meant plants growing in places where they are not desired.
Whether the compounds according to the invention act as total herbicides or selective herbicides depends essentially on the amount used.
The active compounds according to the present invention may be used, for example, to combat the following plants:
dicotyledon weeds of the genera Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria, Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbania, Ambrosia, Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Rorippa, Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, Emex, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver, Centaurea and Solanum; and
monocotyledon weeds of the genera Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria, Phleum, Poa, Festuca, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Avena, Cyperus, Sorghum, Agropyron, Cynodon, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Sagittaria, Eleocharis, Scirpus, Paspalum, Ischaemum, Sphenoclea, Datyloctenium, Agrostis, Alopecurus and Apera.
The active compounds according to the present invention may be used, for example, as selective herbicides in the following cultures:
dicotyledon cultures of the genera Gossypium, Glycine, Beta, Daucus, Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Linum, Ipomoea, Vicia, Nicotiana, Lycopersicon, Arachis, Brassica, Lactuca, Cucumis and Cucurbita; and
monocotyledon cultures of the genera Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Secale, Sorghum, Panicum, Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus and Allium.
However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera but also embraces other plants, in the same way.
Depending on the concentrations, the compounds can be used for the total combating of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and railway tracks and on paths and squares with or without trees. Equally, the compounds can be employed for combating weeds in perennial cultures, for example afforestations, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards, citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cacao plantations, soft fruit plantings and hopfields, and for the selective combating of weeds in annual cultures.
In particular, the active compounds according to the invention also exhibit a good herbicidal action against broad-leafed weeds, in addition to a very good action against graminaceous weeds. It is possible to use the active compounds according to the invention selectively in various crops, for example in beet, soya bean, cotton, rice and other varieties of cereal. Individual active compounds are particularly suitable as selective herbicides in beet, cotton and cereals.
The active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, and very fine capsules in polymeric substances.
These formulations may be produced in known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is to say liquid or solid diluents or carriers, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is to say emulsifying agents and/or dispersing agents and/or foam-forming agents. In the case of the use of water as an extender, organic solvents can, for example, also be used as auxiliary solvents.
As liquid diluents or carriers, especially solvents, there are suitable in the main, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylene, toluene or alkyl naphthalenes, chlorinated aromatic or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, or strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethylsulphoxide, as well as water.
As solid carriers there may be used ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly-dispersed silicic acid, alumina and silicates. As solid carriers for granules there may be used crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks.
As emulsifying and/or foam-forming agents there may be used non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene-fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene-fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkyl sulphonates, alkyl sulphates, aryl sulphonates as well as albumin hydrolysis products. Dispersing agents include, for example, lignin sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, can be used in the formulations.
It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs or metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients, such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
The formulations in general contain from 0.1 to 95 percent by weight of active compound, preferably from 0.5 to 90 percent by weight.
The active compounds according to the invention, as such or in the form of their formulations, can also be used, for combating weeds, as mixtures with other herbicides, finished formulations or tank mixing being possible. Mixtures with other active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, bird repellants, growth factors, plant nutrients and agents which improve soil structure, are also possible.
The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or in the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes and granules. They may be used in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, scattering or dusting.
The active compounds according to the invention can be applied either before or after emergence of the plants. They are preferably applied before emergence of the plants, that is to say by the pre-emergence method. They can also be incorporated into the soil before sowing.
The amount of active compound used can vary within a substantial range. It depends essentially on the nature of the desired effect. In general, the amounts used are from 0.01 to 10 kg of active compound per ha, preferably from 0.1 to 5 kg/ha.
When applied in certain concentrations, some of the active compounds according to invention also display a growth regulating action.
The present invention also provides a herbicidal composition containing as active ingredient a compound of the present invention in admixture with a solid diluent or carrier or in admixture with a liquid diluent or carrier containing a surface-active agent.
The present invention also provides a method of combating weeds which comprises applying to the weeds, or to a habitat thereof, a compound of the present invention alone or in the form of a composition containing as active ingredient a compound of the present invention in admixture with a diluent or carrier.
The present invention further provides crops protected from damage by weeds by being grown in areas in which immediately prior to and/or during the time of the growing a compound of the present invention was applied alone or in admixture with a diluent or carrier.
It will be seen that the usual methods of providing a harvested crop may be improved by the present invention.
The herbicidal activity of the compounds of this invention is illustrated by the following biotest Example.
In this Example, the compounds according to the present invention are each identified by the number (given in brackets) of the corresponding preparative Example, which will be found later in this specification.
EXAMPLE A Pre-emergence test
Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone
Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound was mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier was added and the concentrate was diluted with water to the desired concentration.
Seeds of the test plants were sown in normal soil and, after 24 hours, watered with the preparation of the active compound. It was expedient to keep constant the amount of water per unit area. The concentration of the active compound in the preparation was of no importance, only the amount of active compound applied per unit area being decisive. After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants was determined in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control. The figures denoted:
0%=no action (like untreated control)
100%=total destruction
In this test, for example, the following compounds exhibited an excellent action: (1), (2), (8), (17), (19), (31), (41), (99), (104), (107, (108), (118), (119), (120), (121), (122), (123), (124), (125), (126), (129), (130), (131), (132), (141), (142), (145), (154), (155), (156), (159), (160), (162), (163), (168), (180), (184), (187), (188), (189), (190), (193), (194), (195), (196), (248),
EXAMPLE B Pre-emergence water-surface treatment under flooded conditions for paddy field weeds (Pot test) Preparation of active compounds
Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone
Emulsifier: 1 part by weight of benzyloxy-polyglycol ether
To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound was mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier was added and the concentrate was diluted with water to the desired concentration.
Test Method
Pots (1/5,000 are) were filled with paddy field soil. Two rice plants (variety: Kinmaze) per pot at the 2- or 3-leaves stage (about 10 cm high) were transplanted. Echinochloa crus-galli, Cyperus sp., broadleaf weed seeds and Eleocharis acicularis L. were inoculated and maintained in wet condition. Two days after transplantation, each pot was placed in flooded condition to a depth of 3 cm. Then the active compound was applied by watering with the preparation of the active compound. After treatment, water in pots was being leached for two days at a rate of 2 to 3 cm per day. After this leaching, each pot was maintained in flooded condition to a depth of 3 cm. Four weeks after treatment with chemicals, herbicidal efficacy and phytotoxicity against rice plants were determined on a scale of the six grades (0 to 5) shown below in comparison to the untreated plant.
